Arthur and Yin’s wedding was a destination wedding in Perth, Western Australia, and we travelled from Penang to film it. Their Chinese wedding morning took place at home, in a garden with paved stone paths, a flower-covered arbor and a small pond.
The film opens with the details of the morning: the dress, the shoes, the bride’s hair and the groom adjusting his tie. Yin wore a red kua embroidered with flowers and phoenix motifs, and the couple met in the garden and walked hand in hand before the day’s customs began.
The door games came next. The groomsmen and Arthur took on the bridesmaids’ challenges, untangling threads and wearing boxes tied around their waists to shake out ping-pong balls, and the groomsmen tasted a series of drinks poured into paper cups. Arthur then read his declaration to Yin, lifted the red veil from her face in the bedroom, and they kissed.
They walked the garden under a red umbrella, then knelt on cushions to serve tea to their parents and elders, receiving red packets in return. The film ends with the two of them holding hands by the pond.
We kept the pace light for the games and slowed down for the tea, with drone shots of the house and its grounds. Whether your wedding is in Penang or overseas, we travel to film it. It is one of our Director Cut wedding films.
